Research and Information Collecting Planning Developing Preliminary Form of Product

34 main field testing, operational product revision, operational field testing, final product revision, and the last is dissemination and implementation pp. 775-776. In this study, the researcher only conducted six steps of educational R D because the aim of this study was to design the materials to gain feedback and suggestions of the designed materials after being implemented once to the target learners and also because of the time limit and money. Therefore, the researcher did not employ the complete cycle. The six steps are explained in the following points.

1. Research and Information Collecting

Research and information collecting was to obtain the information needed for planning what to design. This step employed the first three steps of Dick and Carey’s 2009 instructional design, namely, identify the goals, conduct learning materials analysis, and analyzing learners’ needs. The researcher conducted observation to identify the goals and topics needed. After that, the researcher conducted needs analysis in analyzing learners and context step to find out the learner s’ needs by distributing questionnaires to the tour guides as the learners.

2. Planning

Planning was the stage for the researcher in developing the materials. This step employed the third, fourth, and fifth step of Dick and Carey’s 2009 instructional design model, namely, write performance objectives, develop assessment instruments, and develop instructional strategy. In writing performance objectives, the researcher decided the general learning objectives by making the syllabus and deciding the specific learning objectives in every unit on 35 its lesson plan. In developing assessment instrument, the researcher made a self- evaluation assessment for the learners in every unit. In developing instructional strategy, the researcher adopted Willis’ task sequence 1996, namely, pre-task, task cycle, and language focus to make the suitable phases strategies for creating speaking materials.

3. Developing Preliminary Form of Product

In this phase, the researcher employed the seventh step of Dick and Carey’s 2009 instructional design model, namely, develop and select instructional resources. The organized subject content was developed into learning materials. Tasks and instructional resources were selected based on their appropriateness with the available support service , learners’ characteristics and skills. In developing preliminary form of product, the researcher selected the subject contents and made the preliminary design based on the syllabus used. The researcher adapted the authentic speaking materials by applying the principles of materials adaptation by Tomlinson and Masuhara 2004; they are plus, minus, and zero categories p. 16.

4. Preliminary Field Testing
